Greetings one and all and welcome to the next chapter of Avatar Heroes. So we are technically in Book 5 now, as for a name for it. I guess Book 5: Life or Book 5: Worlds, I guess. But anyway, I hope your going to enjoy it and now on to the reviews.
mpowers045: Of course. You wouldn't think I would introduce a new villain just to stop this story now? Though I am not sure how long it will continue.
Guest: I won't see it as flame, but there is only like 10% of other movie, anime, game quotes in my stories, though I agree with you that the reference/shout-outs where through the roof last Book (especially the last two chapters).
New-Guest: Thanks, and yeah it was intended as a shout-out/reference to Mass Effect 3. And as for his title of Knight Of The Wind, it a title he gained back in his World, there is some more information about it in this chapter. Don't worry about forgetting New in your name.
And now its story time.
"So you want to know about The Skywalker and what he really is don't you? For that answer we have to get back to the time before the Worlds existed.", Morgenstern said as the story began.
"Before what we now know as the Arcmoani Network existed, there was Habitus, the Unchanging Realm. The being responsible for this Realm was Arcmoani, the Omniadeus. Into the statics he gave life to the Primordial's, formless spiritual beings to help populate it. The first of the Primordial's to form an identity was Caelumrai, thanks to its existence, more Primordial began to form their own identities, and soon there were fifteen separate, individual beings.
After some indeterminate amount of time, Caelumrai approached his peers with a plan to create a new plane of existence and to create and populate it with lesser beings of their own design.
Caelumrai's plan was executed resulting in the creation of The Planet. During this process it became clear to the other Primordial's that their own divine energy was being drained to help infuse life into the Planet. Some of the Primordial's managed to escape The Planet but for most it was too late, the Primordial's lost most of their power to finish the creation of The Planet. The last of these was Caelumrai himself. His body becoming the physical mass of The Planet. His heart became a weapon named Force Calibur. While his soul spliced into the concepts of Hope and Despair."
"That's an interesting myth, but what has this to do with Skywalker?", Amon asked as the two were standing on the roof of their headquarters, overlooking the lighten up city down below, rebuilding of Republic City after the final battle against Kuvira's army were on course, as well as the persecution of those who aided the Great Uniter.
"Just keep it in mind, this will be important later on.", Morgenstern simply told , as the story continued, "Eventually a council was formed between the many races who inhabited the Planet, Magi, Terra's, Seraph's, dragon's, Alicorn's, Dovah, all of them lived happy in harmony for a while. But after some time, the Planet was drawn into conflict, a being of Chaos, named Discord waged a war against the Ancient Council for control of the Planet.
The being gained power from the chaos all around him, becoming a godlike entity. In the end, the king of the Dovah, Caelum Aruku harvest the power of Force Calibur to break Discord's power by shattering the Planet into many smaller Worlds, bringing into what is now know as the Arcmoani Network. It is believed that the hard Mundus Light is the crystallized blood of Caelumrai. It would explain why ti isn't bound to the laws of reality.
The Worlds were surrounded by barriers to prevent outside interference making it impossible for different Worlds to have contact. However from the ash of the Planet rose two orders dedicated to protecting the Worlds from such events ever happening again.
One was The Council, wielders of the mystical weapon of the Keyblade, and on the opposite side came the Superius Order, they wielded laser swords, or as they are more commonly known, lightsabers. Both groups hated each other, and both dedicated to protecting the Worlds in their own way. Eventually each invented ways to travel between them. The Keyblade Warriors, traveled the Arcmoani Network using a vehicle known as a Keyblade Glider while the Superius Order used a Solar Ships."
"So I can assume Skywalker belongs to one of those groups?", Amon continued to asked as he and his leader where now walking through the building as the light from the city shined down on them from the large windows.
"Yes, and no. He belongs to both groups and yet he belongs to neither.", Morgenstern explained, the cryptic way he was talked to irritated Amon.
The masked man turned to look at the hooded woman in front of him, "This history lesson is very interesting, but it has jack to do with Jason Skywalker.", he said irritated.
"Calm down Noatak.", Morgenstern ordered, and he did feeling the brunt of the aura Morgenstern was admitting, "Jason Sephiroth Skywalker. He was born 15th of June to Lily Skywalker a Superius Knight and Marc a Keyblade Knight. On that same day Lily's home Sky Temple Divium became under attack leaving Skywalker as the only survivor as his mother had sent him away in an escape pod."
"Did the Council did this? The genocide of the Superius Order?", Amon asked as they now stood in Morgenstern's office, the window overlooking Republic Downtown and Yue Bay, giving a look of Air Temple Island in the distance.
"It was a Keyblade Knight but not the Council. They had been whipped out weeks before by the same being.", Morgenstern explained, blue eyes staring down the window at the city down below, "When Skywalker was 15 years old he met four other young men who became his life long friends. A year later, he had his first experience with World travelling when he was dragged into another World with his friends by a young woman named Mizuki, a follower of the Dark Messiah."
Amon listen tentatively, as Morgenstern continued to speak, "It was here that his adventures truly began. It was here that began to make a name for his self as a hero, eventually coming to blows with the very being of chaos that nearly had the Planet at his finger tips. He fought off him off, until a friend of his was drawn into a unstable Rift, a portal to an other World. He gave his life to save his friend.
But as you know get got better from being dead. Two years later he returned to that World to save it from a other worldly would be ruler. For his efforts the true leader of that World named him Knight Of The Wind. Equestria's greatest hero. He continued to adventure around that World with his friends and upon one he was send here and you know how that turned out."
Amon couldn't she her expression but he was sure Morgenstern was smirking at him, "Skywalker is part of a group called the Harmonic Heroes. Wielders of the legendary E.o.H. and because of that they can create normal stable Rifts allowing travel between Worlds."
"After some time Skywalker came face-to-face with the man who killed his parents. The Dark Messiah desired Force Calibur to recreate the Worlds into his image. There were a lot of battle's and in the end. Drawing onto the bonds he build up with his friends he channeled the power of Hope inside of him. He managed to destroy the Dark Messiah's physical body but his spirit has endured in the Arcmoani Network."
Amon took all of this in after Morgenstern was done speaking, "You mean... Jason Skywalker is the incarnation of the concept of Hope?", he asked.
"I believe so. But Jason's true strength comes from his ability to create bonds and connect with other people. His solar absorbing is just something all Dovah are born with.", Morgenstern continued to explain, "The king of Superius Order has always been a descendant of Caelum Aruku the leader of the Dovah. It's because of circumstances, his blood line and his own skill that Jason is as powerful as he is."
The masked man became quite after this, processing all the information he was just given. "But it won't matter for long. No matter how this story goes. At the end of it Jason Skywalker will be dead. Permanently.", Morgenstern said, "I will be leaving for a while to retrieving a very important component for the plan. Be ready for my return." and with that the cloaked figure disappeared in a cloud of dark blue smoke.
One week later, down at the Republic City docks. Korra was heading home after resolving a dispute between the spirit and people of Republic City with the help from soldiers of Skywalker's army. Reconstruction has been going smooth with the help of the A.B.W., which was short for Alliance Between Worlds. Unfortunately, she couldn't get Asami to come to that beach resort with her and Skywalker, and both agreed that if the three of them couldn't go it would be a waste.
"I wonder if things will ever go back to the way it use to be.", Korra thought, but she was distracted when she heard a sound coming from an allyway. Turning her head she saw a group of shady looking people standing there. In an instant, she recognized them as Equelists, "The hell? Amon is gone, what are those chi-blockers doing here?"
Without hesitation, they waste no time and runs for Korra, who ignites her right fist and sends a large fire blast at the incoming attackers. They unnaturally avoid the blast by waving their way around it, and continues her run for the Avatar. They initiates a hand-to-hand combat with Korra, aiming for her head, but Korra avert the course with her left and and retaliate with a fire blast at her other opponents.
"Stand down, you can't win against me.", Korra warned them, but her opponents attack her from the side, but Korra attacks using a full moon fire kick, before activating the Avatar State, calling upon the element to create the Element Wings she had become fond off using in this state.
The opponent avoids her attack and aims for Korra's head, but she caught it with her own fist and with a sickening crack, she slammed the humanoid into the ground, making it disappear in black vapor. "What the?", Korra asked surprised.
Quite suddenly the others ceased their attack, stepping aside as a woman of the same height came strolling towards her with a subtle, confident gait from dark blue vapor.
The woman was dressed in a black trench coat that is double-breasted and twin-tailed, with a hood and long sleeves, it has a large silver zipper that fastens at the top and zips down to seal the coat. A hood covered all facial features of the her, though there were glowing blue orbs were his eyes would be.
Korra directly charged forward, bending a large fire stream at her, but it is soon parted when the woman raised a hand. Korra felt her entire body tense up as she felt the Avatar State fall away and she was being forced on her knees, before she was knocked into the ground, having to fight to remain conscious as her entire body felt heavy.
"Bring her to the headquarters. Be careful with her. She is rather valuable.", Morgenstern ordered before disappearing, leaving his minions to take the weakened Korra.
Korra tried to stand up, but her legs gave out, leaving her unable to defend against her attacks. As she dropped on the ground again, she forced herself to remain awake, whispering one word, "Jason."
A faint cyan blue light illuminated behind her and suddenly the nearest Equelist was send flying by a stream of water, as a figure leaped over her, surprising the attackers.
The newcomer launched multiple streams of water, freezing one over their head. His balance lost, the man stumbles forward towards as the newcomer, hits him against the head with a back spinning kick, due to which he slams head first against the curb, its body disappearing in black smoke.
In quick succession, the newcomer managed to land multiple hits, elegantly evading his attackers while picking them off one-by-one. The last one tried to kick him from the side, but found himself traps by the newcomers hands, who turns the Equelist around one time to build up momentum, as he throws the man up before kicking the black wearing humanoid into a wall making him also disappear in black smoke.
As everything seemed clear, he hurried over to the barley conscious Korra. "Are you alright?", he asked, holding Korra in his arms. Through her eyelashes, she saw that her savior was a tanned young man with dark brown hair and amber eyes.
"I need to get to Air Temple Island...", Korra said weakly, the stranger gave her a nod carrying her on his back towards the harbor, hoping to catch a ferry to the island, or they will have to swim.
"Just hang in there, I will get you there.", the young man said, just as Korra was swallowed by darkness.
